Corwin wtf

MereinidMereinid Member Posts: 46
Hello all, I just got around to starting the SoD expansion pack. I just recruited Corwin. The GameBanshee walkthrough gave a breakdown of the recruitable characters. Well, I picked up Minsc/Dynaheir & Safana in BG.
Well, I wanted to get Corwin once we started chapter 8. She is supposed to be an Archer. I am thinking that I have a bugged game. Her class says Archer and it says that she is the epitome of archery. She has NO proficiencies in Bows or any kind of ranged weapons, none. She has 4 proficiencies in Scimitar/Katana and 1 in Halberd. Is this a bug or did the makers just not pay attention when pencil whipping this character out. She's a front line fighter now. She carried a bow the entire time she escorted me around town. I am not even sure why she has a bow.

Is there a mod that can re-adjust her skills to fit her actual class?

Regards,
Mereinid

*Edit* Now I am looking into her inventory, she has a Mastercraft Halberd and her bow. Why give her 4 proficiencies in Scimitar and Katana and then get a fracking Halberd. It has only 1 prof!!!. That is just about the most asinine thing I have seen.

    She has 4 points in long bow in a normal game, moreover, archers can't put more than 1 point in non-ranged weapons, so it is definitely a bug.
    Any mods installed ?
    Try reloading a save prior to meeting her, or just use eekeeper to put the right proficiencies.

    I am playing a normal game. Only mod I have is the ease of use mod that makes things stack too much higher levels. and EE-keeper you say? Cool.

    Hey all, where is the short sword proficiency in SoD? Is it under Dagger/Dart now or under Large Swords?

    What in the world? The EE games, including SoD, don't have dagger/dart or large sword proficiencies. The short sword proficiency is called short sword.

    That's what I was thinking also..but I have no listing of Short Swords or Hammer Profs. Haha, I am thinking there is something seriously wrong with my install.

    Are um completely sure you didn't install any weapon proficiency overhaul mod?

    Can you give us a print from a character creation screen so we can see how the weapon proficiency shows up for you?

    Post the contents of your weidu.log file (it should be found in your main installation folder). This sounds like a problem with mods.

    @Mereinid, quick Q... do you have a version (Steam or GoG) of BG SoD that requires the use of Modmerge, and if so, did you use it prior to adding Ease of Use mod. Does this mod exist for EE versions? I thought it was for the original series with the Tweaks Anthology for EE (which incorporates the stacking component).

    OK, it ended up as a couple of quicks Qs...

    I check the CRE file and I see that Corwin has "2 weapons style" with 2 stars in it but the other proficiencies are halberd and longbow, so what's the use of "2 weapons styl" ???
    I guess we could put these 2 stars in some other 2 handed weapons like sword kata or spear ?

    So in my game I changed these 2 stars and put them into katana and spear (already enough chars with 2H Sword).

    All rangers are granted 2 pips in Two Weapon style. It is a class feature.


    ALL Rangers (including archers) start off the game with 2 stars in "2 Weapon Style" - it's one of their class attributes.

    You ask why? Blame Drizzt.

    From what I understand in later editions they specialize into either bows or dual wielding. They don't, by default, get access to both, though if you wanted to take the time to train both of them you could.

    Ease of Use is seriously outdated. If you are looking for good tweaks use the G3 Tweaks Anthology. http://www.gibberlings3.net/tweaks/ Pretty much all options from the old weidu mods have been folded into this plus a whole bunch of options from other tweak packs over the year. last Updated in Nov of 2017.
